The York Univeristy Lions look to build on the momentum of their significant victory over the OUA-leading TMU Bold as they head east for two key matchups this weekend. The road trip begins Friday at 6:00 pm in Oshawa against the Ontario Tech Ridgebacks. Historically, the Lions have performed well in this matchup, consistently securing victories against the Ridgebacks. Maintaining this composure on the road will be essential as the team aims to solidify its position in the standings.

On Saturday at 4:00 pm, the challenge intensifies as York travels to Kingston to face the Queen's Gaels. The Gaels currently lead the OUA Eastern Division with an undefeated record and have a strong historical advantage at home. However, the Lions have recently demonstrated their ability to compete with top-tier programs, most notably by handing TMU their first loss of the season. York will look to repeat that focused performance and disrupt another perfect record in what promises to be a high-stakes cross divisional battle.

Fans can stream all of the weekend's action live on OUA TV.
